Bro Code Hell (Hellman Brothers Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 926 ratings

Living with my older brother’s best friend wasn’t even my worst idea lately.

Keeping it a secret from my brother was on the list too. Oh, and actually falling (literally) for Blaze Hellman—when every frown clearly said to stay away—was most definitely at the top of the list.

I was kind of a genius normally. I’d managed to graduate early and was about to open my own veterinary clinic in my home town of Hell. I clearly had my life together.

Until Blaze came back to town, moving slower than a sloth on crutches, more wounded emotionally than physically. We ended up bonding over stray dogs, exes from hell, and oddly enough, shared grief.

But helping him get his life back together could cost me my heart…and destroy his friendship with my brother. Will the heat between us create a situation that breaks all the bro codes?


Bro Code Hell is a steamy, romantic comedy between a wounded hero and his best friend’s little sister, complete with rescue dogs, annoying brothers, and a naked meet-cute. This romance ends with a hot, sticky sweet happily ever after.

Review

★★★★★ "This book had all the swoony angst and tension that I expect from a best friend's sibling/sibling's best friend romance. But, it also goes to some places that I wasn't expecting, making it deeper and more emotionally fraught." - Kristen Lewendon
★★★★★ "this book gave me all the happy feels." - Booked On Lattes

    This is a glorious grumpy hero paired with a sunshiny heroine best friend’s little sister forced proximity tale with a side of childhood crush thrown in. The story has the perfect mix of all the good stuff. It is also a story that sucks you in and keeps you enthralled to the very last syllable. Blaze is one of 5 brothers raised by a single mother. He recently moved back to his small hometown of Auburn Hill after suffering an injury that ended his career as a stuntman. Blaze has some unpacked emotional baggage and he’s a little rough around the edges and a little wounded which comes out all kinds of grumpy growly bear. Tired of living with his no boundaries mom, he asks his best friend, Ben, if he can live with him. Annie, Ben’s little sister, is a veterinarian who is working on opening her vet practice in town. Annie is happy, super talkative and just wants to help everyone. Tired of living with her grandmother and her grandmother’s BF, she also asks to move in with Ben. Ben is out of town and there is a miscommunication which leads to a naked shower encounter and thus starts Annie and Blaze’s journey to their HEA. The book does a phenomenal job of taking us on the journey of Blaze and Annie as they struggle to let go of past pain and fear, learn to trust and depend on each other, and fight for what makes them happy. The story has plenty of steamy scenes, sweet moments, stupid choices, laughter, crazy and quirky townspeople, and simmering and overwhelming feelings, all wrapped up in swoony heart squeezing love. The story was well written with relatable characters with depth who grow and an engaging storyline that made me feel all the things. I’ll definitely keep reading this series.

    Wow, I thought Ace was a grump, but he has nothing on Blaze. Blaze returns to town in a cast, after a work accident. He left years ago, but now he’s back. Ben is his best friend. Ben is Annie’s big brother. Annie has been living with her Grandma Donna, but after one too many encounters with her and Juan Carlos, Annie can’t handle staying there. Blaze was staying with his mom while Ben was out of town, but as soon as hears Ben’s back in town, he moves to Ben’s. Ben has to leave town again, so Annie unable to check if she can move in. When finds out Blaze already there, she decides they can both stay there until Ben returns. One thing leads to another and they become an item. No spoilers, so grab your copy and see what happens. I bet you’ll love all the animals you’ll meet.

    Best friends younger sister. Blaze has always liked smart and talkative Annie and she had a major crush on him. No she is preparing to open up her vet clinic in their hometown. Blaze came home to recuperate from injuries from a fall at his job as a stunt double.

    They reconnect when Annie and Blaze are both staying at her brothers apartment. That's when they give in to their attraction to each other.

    Things go smoothly until the brother comes back from a business trip.

    I really liked their story much better than Ace and Addys so I am looking forward to the next book.

    When Blaze Hellman returned to his hometown, he didn’t expect his mother would smother him. Yes, he’s recovering from an accident that left him in crutches and with a shoulder that does not fear much better, but he’s a grown man and doesn’t need to be treated as less than that. Hence the reason to move into his best friend’s guest room at the first opportunity.
    Annie McLachlin is just done being her grandmother’s roommate and is desperately seeking her brother’s help, but when said brother fails to answer her pleads for help, she decides to move into his house unaware that he already has a guest.
    This is a classic case of close quarters with the best friend’s little sister story. She, of course, had a massive crush on him as a young girl and now wants to ride the Blaze train. The story is fun and entertaining, but nothing I haven’t read before and is just a good one.
    The author is a good writer with a lot of funny comebacks and these band of brothers have amazing banter one doesn’t want to miss as well as Annie’s group of unruly friends.

    I loved getting to know Blaze in this book, he is a sweet guy u dear earth HUS grumpy exterior. He and An ie were great together. Once again Marika Ray brought us into the lives of two people and let us experience them falling in love and working through their issues to their HEA. As always, spending time with the characters in Hell was entertaining and fun.

    Another great book in the series.

    I love a best friends sister romance and this was spectacular! Annie and Blaze were just perfect for each other. This was such a fun read and if you are needing minimal drama then this is the book for you! I also loved the dynamics between the brothers and I am so excited to see what is in store for them! Ps. I really hope Ben gets a book!

    I cannot imagine bringing up 5 boys, let alone with the youngest 3 being triplets... how does that work?
    A really nicely played story with a good epilogue leading to the next book no doubt.
    Nice dialogue and style, with enough, but not too much, heat and humour.
